Leaha

A respelling of Leah with an extra -a, Leaha is a fresh and vibrant twist on a familiar name. Like its closest variant, this feminine title has Hebrew roots, arising from a word that means "weary" or "grieved." When you tell your loved ones that you chose Leaha for your new arrival, they won't be pained, but delighted! Some sources also link Leah and Leaha to the Akkadian word littu, meaning "cow," just one example of the ways these names intertwine with nature. In medieval England, leah was a word that described a "clearing" or "meadow," so don't be surprised if sweet Leaha learns all their farm animal names (and sounds) at an early age.
